The Big Line and the hiccups

Margaret came home from school yesterday and was telling Patrick, Kathleen and I about her teacher Mrs Reedy.

A boy in her class, Josh, had the hiccups and they were loud and kind of annoying....Mrs Reedy said" Josh, we are going to have to see what we can do about those hiccups......"

As class progressed, everyone was doing what they were suppose to be doing when Mrs Reedy took her shoe off and threw it down on the floor in front of Josh, trying to scare the hiccups out of him..

Margaret said it was so funny, some time went by and again the kids were working and Mrs Reedy took up a tennis racquet and jumped in front of Josh and screamed....EEERRRRR!!!

Margaret said the class all jumped!! As Patrick listened to her tell the story he said " Oh did you make a big line on your paper?"....and just like that, I was 8 all over again, and I remembered everytime the fire alarm would go off and I was writing, I would jump so high that my pencil would make a big line on my paper!

I started to laugh and I said to Patrick, I remember making the big line and he was surprised that I had done it too.

Margaret knew what he was talking about and she was laughing, but she continued to finish her story by saying that Mrs Reedy's methods worked because Josh's hiccups went away!
